[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op’s issue stems from miscommunication.

Even at TT only 30%-40% of the kids go to top colleges. Your average kids at a TT would be doing “fine” and wouldn’t necessarily need a tutor(s) because they are not at the bottom of the class and not getting Cs, but they won’t get into a top 20 college.

When OP’s school said her son was doing “fine” and doesn’t need tutoring it really just meant that: he is doing fine, but not great. OP somehow thought the average student from their school would end up at a TT. So there is mis-communication and mis-match in expectations.

Op - I cannot stress this enough. There is a huge difference between them never saying he needed tutoring and me assuming he was trinity bound and them never saying (despite being repeatedly asked) that he needed tutoring or any help and me thinking Dwight was going to be the first name they throw out. There are a LOT of tiers between Dwight and trinity. That is the point. You do not need to throw $65k downstream every year and volunteer for the fundraising committee for a school to tell you everything is academically fine and then offer up Dwight. Dwight is something that should not be a surprise [/quote]
